British newspaper reveals the time Man Utd fired coach Amorim

(Dan Tri) - The Man Utd board of directors is said to have finalized the time to fire coach Ruben Amorim. They have also completed a list of 5 potential candidates to replace his position.

According to the Manchester Evening, although the Man Utd board has publicly supported him, they are still preparing an alternative plan if the performance does not improve in the next 3 matches. This shows that coach Amorim has very little time left to prove his ability before October.

The three names that coach Amorim needs to overcome are Chelsea, Sunderland and Brentford, the teams that are ranked 5th, 7th and 12th respectively in the Premier League 2025-26 rankings. This will be the series of matches that will decide the future of the Portuguese strategist at Old Trafford, in the context that the "Red Devils" have been in serious decline since the beginning of the season.

Man Utd are currently 14th in the table and have only won 4 points after the first 4 rounds. They were also knocked out of the Carabao Cup by lower-league Grimsby Town, which has increased the pressure on coach Amorim.

Since taking charge at Man Utd 10 months ago, coach Ruben Amorim has only won 8 out of 31 Premier League matches. This poor performance has made many veteran players start to doubt his strategy and training methods.

The 0-3 home loss to Man City in round 4 of the Premier League caused a wave of criticism, forcing the board of directors to take action.

Although those in power at Man Utd still affirm their support for coach Amorim to the media, English football experts have pointed out that Man Utd also did the same with coach Erik Ten Hag before firing him after only 9 rounds last season.

Man Utd have prepared for a coaching change scenario by narrowing down the list of potential candidates. Notably, the two most prominent names are England head coach Gareth Southgate and former Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino.

The list also includes Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace), Marco Silva (Fulham) and Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth). The arrival of Southgate and Pochettino shows that Man Utd are looking for an experienced coach who can manage the dressing room well.

Fans are looking ahead to Man Utd's next three Premier League games. What happens after that will determine the Portuguese's future, as well as the direction the Red Devils will take for the rest of the season. Coach Amorim needs at least two wins to secure his seat at Old Trafford before October.
